A Moon Might Have Been Found Orbiting an Exoplanet - Universe Today universetoday storybywill
the team found evidence of a possible Neptune-sized exomoon orbiting a Sun-like star 8,000 light-years from Earth. A year later, they presentedthat reinforced their previous findings. Kepler-1625b-i has remained the only candidate exomoon since they are very difficult to detect. Said Kipping:
There are many, many methods to look for exomoons. But for the sake of brevity we believe that transits are the most effective approach, so they are clearly highly successful for planet discovery and offer repeatable events enabling a falsifiable hypothesis to be constructed.” “It was the only object that passed every test we could think of,” said Kipping. “The best way to describe it is that it’s a transit signal for which the best fitting astrophysical model is a planet+moon model, and we can find no reasons to discard that hypothesis after a battery of vetting tests.”
